It la conceded tbat be Is not Sited lor the place, bat tbeo as be !' " all right on tbe nigger question," ws guess be will go through. The Senate Debate We give In our tele graphic column a rsry full report ol the debate which took place hi tbs U. S Senate yt-sterdty, between Mr. Blgler of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Douglas of Illinois. It if omioom of events, of ohange, and of dla rupture It ie pUin tbat ' lltir spoke by the card, and mule himself tbe moathpleoe of the AdrnlnlMrttUun. Ills speech was Intended tu let Douglas understand, and such papers a the &tteman, and inch Members of CongreM a Mr. Coi uudwrnlBod, that la the position they have taken they have put themselves outside tbs democratic parly, and are henceforth to be regarded a Inimical to lha administration oi James Buchanan. Douglas stood hlfl ground bravely, and declared he would not be pat oal of the party, tbat be bad as moob right there a- any other rami, and be would'nt go oat. Tbe question is, who is tbe doorkeeper to tbe party! Who possesses the key ? and wbo keeps watch and ward over il Buchanan aud the Slave Power, or Douglas and bis Northern followers 1 Tbe question is easily answered. It Is Bucban au and tbe South. Douglas ought not to wait to be pushed out of the party. He should go out voluntarily, and leave Bachanan, the 'nig ger drivers,' aud the doughfaces to sbllt for themselves. We have all along said tbat neither Mr. Douglas, Mr. Coi, nor the Summon could aland where they now are. Tbey have either to go lorwatd or retreat ba.k to their former peal' tion. Senrthlng about Prim to f iss eVtWsptri, ana wuat tbe Lcgkiatura itwtiu t 4. Much baa Iwen said of late in tbe papera about ibs"Priutiog Plunder" at Wain lug ion and in abuse ol those geutlemen who have been lucky euoiigU to gut iL We are ioolloed to be lieve that tbe piotita of (he public printing have been greatly overrated, and that fewer fortunes have been made ty it than U generally btllevtd, We know that old Mr. Ritchie, when editor of tbe Union, was bankrupted by having tbe ol flee of public printer confer! ed upon bin. if there be now any abuses connected whh tbe office, it Is the duly ol Congrets to correct the; aud not the public priotei. If there be more books printed tban tbere ought to be, the fault la with Uongrrss, not with the prluter. He Is a man actiug undi r authority, and can only prlai what he is ordered to print. Thi'se are lacts wlilch a moment's r: Ike t loo will make apparent to any thinking peiaon(aud yet the outcry ol tbe press Is against tbe printer, tbe fortunate lerron who obtains tbe office, and Congress la let off scott free. la our judgment, tbe press and tbe printers are unjust tu themselves. Tbore are much greater ahupes practiced every day la Washington, than tuve ever arisen from tbe office of public printer since the foundation of the gov ernmeot, which are never noted at all by the press. We oould name some of tbem, but we defer until anoiher day. We believe that the printers sis the poorest paid men connected withthu t-ollticeof tbe country, and receive Ihe fewest numier of dollars from the public. It is Bolotious that men wbo have been elevated to office by meaus of tbe press, are1 apt to signalize tbtir advent Into Congress or the Leg islature, by miking some sizpsoDy relorm which is to el Feet the press uularorably. We , could give many tnttances of this were we so disponed. Take our own eoustllutioD as an example. There It is provided tbat tbe publlo printing muni be let out by ooutraot to the lowest bidder, while all other men and matters connected with tbe Government are left untouched. In oar judgment It would be just as fair to let out tbe legislation aud tbe Judiciary buslusss bv eon tract to the lowest bidder, as to let out tbe blate printing. We have no doubt that just ai good men could be induced to corns to tbe Lea: Islature for two dollars a daj, aa we now have to pay four for. But tba argument la tbat a legislator ought to be paid a la.r remuneration for bis services. We admit the argument, and we add thereto that four dollars a day (a not too much to pay him. Bat it is Just as true tbat a printer ought to be paid a f air remuneration lor nis services whlob, we couteod, be never can oe paid so long as the office Is put no at auction aud knocked dowa to tbe lowest bidder. The State ought to be, aud It le willing, to pay as fair a price lor its priuting as tor anything else requires w oe aoue We merely refer to this as a samDle. not thai we shall advocate or up et a change, H is zed by the eonstltotloo, and there we suppose n win stay nxec. The printing In tweet is as Important Interest In tbe Btata. On all great Liu btu amau occasions, tbe press la toasted. It ii spoken of as tbe palladium of our liberties, aud tbe great eivillier of the race. So It le. Tbe public press has dona mora la this direction than even tbe common schools. It baa mado the common schools and It has made tbe canals and railroads and telegraphs of the country, aud it le by the preea tbat they are to be maintainid, aud brought to their fullest perfection, Aud yet bow miserably Is tbe press ol theoouoiry sustained. With tbe excep tion of the papers la a row large cities, there is not a paper in Ohio that pays a fair Interest upon the capital Invested la It, aud the labor expanded upon it We venture to say not one. Thlr ! all Wrons. and It khnald not ha ainil U I jot be, if tbs press won Id but leave off its fault- I budioa and do an in. thins far liull 1 The Legislature of Obiooaa do somsthina ft 1 the local r. - .j Fv of Ohioand do It in a wayi tbat would be bentftaial to tba people of tbe State. We would have them pass a law thai tbe advsrtlssmenta of the Sheriffs and tba Audi-ton of tbe reveral counties shall be published In at least two papera la eseb county. Tbe expense of this would not be felt by tbe counties, end It would take nothing horn the State, while It would compensate the counties au hundred fold by the additional publicity that would be given to tbe things advertied. Iu every county of the Stats there are at least two papers, ooe for each or tne political parties, nearly every bead of a family la each county take one or tbe other of the county political papers. Why, because tbe Bberiffor the Auditor Is a Republi can, should not the Democrats of the county know what man Is Insolvent, or what public property Is advertised for aIe by tbe Auditor or Sheriff, and ee eerss? As it now Is, the publlo officers make the monuy ; while the papers tbat labored to elect tbem get nothing or next to nothing. In justice there should be more paid for legsl advertisements, and less cost and tees allowed the parties bold log office, but this we do not demand. Again, the Legislature ought to allow to the Stattimm and 'ansa, a Mr remuneration for publishing tbe proceedings of lbs two branches during the eereion. It would not amouot to much al tbe most, but tbe work would be fairly and thoroughly done, and the people ol the State would be tbe wiser, and therefore tbe better for It, and they would say It was right. We throw out these tuoogbts hoping oar brethren of tbe press In tbe rural districts will give tbem favorable coo side rat ion. Tbey may be sneered at by tbe big cltj press, because tbey can lire and make money without such pa troosge. But with tbe country press tbe caee Ii different. Is It Sot Tbe Charleston Met cury ss'erts that Mr. Douglas repudiates the priuolples of the Kansas Nebraska Act, beoaute It has not worked as be had contemplated, iu making Kansas a free state, and aays: "The truth Is, tbe Ksnas Nebraska Act was an iotended cheat from the beginning, on the part of Its honorable author and bis associates of tbe Northwestern Democracy." Many persons held theopioion now expressed by tbe Mercury, but no southern mao gave utterance to It. The truth Is, the oligarchy were willing to profit by tbe cheat, and therefore kept silence. Now that there Is a prospect that Kanaaa may ooma In as a free state, the south ern politicians txpose tbe fraud. There is an otd saying tbat "when rogues fall out, boueat men may get their right " Too Mocq, or a Uukkt. The pro slavery members of Congress, together with their doughfsce allies Irom tbe free States, all pro fess to regret the precipilaucy with wblcb the d acusslon upon the Lecompton swindle has been forced upon Congress. Every one wbo has spoken on tbat side eing the same song. Mr. Brown of MIm.( rvgrcttedj Mr. Green of Missouri, regretkd; Bughesof Indiana, was dolorous In bis regrets about Mr. Cox's haste; and to-day we have a speech from Senator Bigler of Pennsylvania, wbo also regret e. This la all bosh. James Buchanan waa tbe man who forced tbe matter upon Congress by his Message. 1 ETThe Statuman ought not to say naught; things now about the "Black Republicans" be cause the position which tbat paper holds at this time Is more akin to Black Republiosnism than It Is to Buchanan and Southern Demooia cy, and It may Qud that out one of these days. aT'The leaders of tbe Buchanan democracy In tbe Houi4 ol Bepreeentativee are Stephens of Georgia, Olingmao of North Caro ina, and Faulkner ol Virginia, all of whom, a few yeais ago, were "old line wmgs." A Dasouniov. Tu HaMgk HegUtr considers tbe President 'a message " a demure and fire side production, much of the Aunt Nancy order b is dretsed in solid colore, somewhat brown, and wears its sober habiliments with much maideuly dignity and propriety. All the plaits are neatly smoothed and Ironed, auu tbe eutire garment characteristically starched. It may be neatly folded up and preserved amoug other reverend proprieties, appurtenant to tbe state and condition of all antiquated vlrgioltlea." The De iloatory Services at tbe Congre gatloaal Church latt night, were witnessed by a large audienoe, wbo left their comfortable fl re sides to be present, ootwllbatauding the iuolem-sncy of 'ha weather. The sermon by Rev. Mr. itorrs was well considered and well delivered, though It was rather long, lie deflued bis idra of a ohurob, repudiated the notion thai one bouse waa any boiler than another, but eoutendt d tbat Christian human hearts were the temples of God. He condemned tbe practice of building gorgeous temples, decorated with displays of artistic taste, for which tbe church may have to Incur a heavy debt, said that the first thing abont a cnuron edince should be the conscious tbat It was paid lor, that tbe church should be a celf-sustalolng Institution, that Its members should make all sacrifices to make it so, and not depend upon the Income it may re ceivt from outsiders by pew rents, to raise Its necessary expenditures. A neat, sub stantial edilioe should be erected and paid for, and none should feel restrained from attending by tbclr loabilily ft pay pew rent, or failing to do so, be classed as paupers. Scarcely one-third of our people regularly at tend publlo worship, and tbe reason la numer ous oases Is bsoauss many wbo would attend are uuable to pay $10, $16, or $26 psr annum. pew rent, ana tney will nut attend where they may be looked upon as intruders or psupe ra ils contended tnat the onuron members should raise sufOolsnt funds among themselves to build the church edifice and support the minister, and tbeo thej oould go out Into the world unbent pared by the suspicion tbat tbey were looking up persons to help them pay pew rent, and oould aud would atlraot the pour of the world wbo are rich in faith, to become living stoota In tbe temple of God. Tbe discourse could not be considered is milk for babes, and we rather think tbat some of tbe audience regarded It as rather strong meat for grown moo. Mr. Storra held tbe uudivided at tention of the large audience during fu dellr cry, and made some points which are nut of ten thought of, or not duly considered. At the closa of the ser vices a collection waa taken op, and it was stated tbat tbe cost of the building was $11,000, and tba cost of Ihe lot $8,000 the cost of tbe lot was mainly defrayed by exchanging for It the lot upon which the old Church edifice stands. Tba new building Is plain, convenient and substantial neat, but not gaudy. We trust the Society will go on and prosper. Taa Scioto Rma WaaaiNo away tks Crrr of PiiTSMOCTu-.

It la conceded tbat be Is not Sited lor the place, bat tbeo as be !' " all right on tbe nigger question," ws guess be will go through. The Senate Debate We give In our tele graphic column a rsry full report ol the debate which took place hi tbs U. S Senate yt-sterdty, between Mr. Blgler of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Douglas of Illinois. It if omioom of events, of ohange, and of dla rupture It ie pUin tbat ' lltir spoke by the card, and mule himself tbe moathpleoe of the AdrnlnlMrttUun. Ills speech was Intended tu let Douglas understand, and such papers a the &tteman, and inch Members of CongreM a Mr. Coi uudwrnlBod, that la the position they have taken they have put themselves outside tbs democratic parly, and are henceforth to be regarded a Inimical to lha administration oi James Buchanan. Douglas stood hlfl ground bravely, and declared he would not be pat oal of the party, tbat be bad as moob right there a- any other rami, and be would'nt go oat. Tbe question is, who is tbe doorkeeper to tbe party! Who possesses the key ? and wbo keeps watch and ward over il Buchanan aud the Slave Power, or Douglas and bis Northern followers 1 Tbe question is easily answered. It Is Bucban au and tbe South. Douglas ought not to wait to be pushed out of the party. He should go out voluntarily, and leave Bachanan, the 'nig ger drivers,' aud the doughfaces to sbllt for themselves. We have all along said tbat neither Mr. Douglas, Mr. Coi, nor the Summon could aland where they now are. Tbey have either to go lorwatd or retreat ba.k to their former peal' tion. Senrthlng about Prim to f iss eVtWsptri, ana wuat tbe Lcgkiatura itwtiu t 4. Much baa Iwen said of late in tbe papera about ibs"Priutiog Plunder" at Wain lug ion and in abuse ol those geutlemen who have been lucky euoiigU to gut iL We are ioolloed to be lieve that tbe piotita of (he public printing have been greatly overrated, and that fewer fortunes have been made ty it than U generally btllevtd, We know that old Mr. Ritchie, when editor of tbe Union, was bankrupted by having tbe ol flee of public printer confer! ed upon bin. if there be now any abuses connected whh tbe office, it Is the duly ol Congrets to correct the; aud not the public priotei. If there be more books printed tban tbere ought to be, the fault la with Uongrrss, not with the prluter. He Is a man actiug undi r authority, and can only prlai what he is ordered to print. Thi'se are lacts wlilch a moment's r: Ike t loo will make apparent to any thinking peiaon(aud yet the outcry ol tbe press Is against tbe printer, tbe fortunate lerron who obtains tbe office, and Congress la let off scott free. la our judgment, tbe press and tbe printers are unjust tu themselves. Tbore are much greater ahupes practiced every day la Washington, than tuve ever arisen from tbe office of public printer since the foundation of the gov ernmeot, which are never noted at all by the press. We oould name some of tbem, but we defer until anoiher day. We believe that the printers sis the poorest paid men connected withthu t-ollticeof tbe country, and receive Ihe fewest numier of dollars from the public. It is Bolotious that men wbo have been elevated to office by meaus of tbe press, are1 apt to signalize tbtir advent Into Congress or the Leg islature, by miking some sizpsoDy relorm which is to el Feet the press uularorably. We , could give many tnttances of this were we so disponed. Take our own eoustllutioD as an example. There It is provided tbat tbe publlo printing muni be let out by ooutraot to the lowest bidder, while all other men and matters connected with tbe Government are left untouched. In oar judgment It would be just as fair to let out tbe legislation aud tbe Judiciary buslusss bv eon tract to the lowest bidder, as to let out tbe blate printing. We have no doubt that just ai good men could be induced to corns to tbe Lea: Islature for two dollars a daj, aa we now have to pay four for. But tba argument la tbat a legislator ought to be paid a la.r remuneration for bis services. We admit the argument, and we add thereto that four dollars a day (a not too much to pay him. Bat it is Just as true tbat a printer ought to be paid a f air remuneration lor nis services whlob, we couteod, be never can oe paid so long as the office Is put no at auction aud knocked dowa to tbe lowest bidder. The State ought to be, aud It le willing, to pay as fair a price lor its priuting as tor anything else requires w oe aoue We merely refer to this as a samDle. not thai we shall advocate or up et a change, H is zed by the eonstltotloo, and there we suppose n win stay nxec. The printing In tweet is as Important Interest In tbe Btata. On all great Liu btu amau occasions, tbe press la toasted. It ii spoken of as tbe palladium of our liberties, aud tbe great eivillier of the race. So It le. Tbe public press has dona mora la this direction than even tbe common schools. It baa mado the common schools and It has made tbe canals and railroads and telegraphs of the country, aud it le by the preea tbat they are to be maintainid, aud brought to their fullest perfection, Aud yet bow miserably Is tbe press ol theoouoiry sustained. With tbe excep tion of the papers la a row large cities, there is not a paper in Ohio that pays a fair Interest upon the capital Invested la It, aud the labor expanded upon it We venture to say not one. Thlr ! all Wrons. and It khnald not ha ainil U I jot be, if tbs press won Id but leave off its fault- I budioa and do an in. thins far liull 1 The Legislature of Obiooaa do somsthina ft 1 the local r. - .j Fv of Ohioand do It in a wayi tbat would be bentftaial to tba people of tbe State. We would have them pass a law thai tbe advsrtlssmenta of the Sheriffs and tba Audi-ton of tbe reveral counties shall be published In at least two papera la eseb county. Tbe expense of this would not be felt by tbe counties, end It would take nothing horn the State, while It would compensate the counties au hundred fold by the additional publicity that would be given to tbe things advertied. Iu every county of the Stats there are at least two papers, ooe for each or tne political parties, nearly every bead of a family la each county take one or tbe other of the county political papers. Why, because tbe Bberiffor the Auditor Is a Republi can, should not the Democrats of the county know what man Is Insolvent, or what public property Is advertised for aIe by tbe Auditor or Sheriff, and ee eerss? As it now Is, the publlo officers make the monuy ; while the papers tbat labored to elect tbem get nothing or next to nothing. In justice there should be more paid for legsl advertisements, and less cost and tees allowed the parties bold log office, but this we do not demand. Again, the Legislature ought to allow to the Stattimm and 'ansa, a Mr remuneration for publishing tbe proceedings of lbs two branches during the eereion. It would not amouot to much al tbe most, but tbe work would be fairly and thoroughly done, and the people ol the State would be tbe wiser, and therefore tbe better for It, and they would say It was right. We throw out these tuoogbts hoping oar brethren of tbe press In tbe rural districts will give tbem favorable coo side rat ion. Tbey may be sneered at by tbe big cltj press, because tbey can lire and make money without such pa troosge. But with tbe country press tbe caee Ii different. Is It Sot Tbe Charleston Met cury ss'erts that Mr. Douglas repudiates the priuolples of the Kansas Nebraska Act, beoaute It has not worked as be had contemplated, iu making Kansas a free state, and aays: "The truth Is, tbe Ksnas Nebraska Act was an iotended cheat from the beginning, on the part of Its honorable author and bis associates of tbe Northwestern Democracy." Many persons held theopioion now expressed by tbe Mercury, but no southern mao gave utterance to It. The truth Is, the oligarchy were willing to profit by tbe cheat, and therefore kept silence. Now that there Is a prospect that Kanaaa may ooma In as a free state, the south ern politicians txpose tbe fraud. There is an otd saying tbat "when rogues fall out, boueat men may get their right " Too Mocq, or a Uukkt. The pro slavery members of Congress, together with their doughfsce allies Irom tbe free States, all pro fess to regret the precipilaucy with wblcb the d acusslon upon the Lecompton swindle has been forced upon Congress. Every one wbo has spoken on tbat side eing the same song. Mr. Brown of MIm.( rvgrcttedj Mr. Green of Missouri, regretkd; Bughesof Indiana, was dolorous In bis regrets about Mr. Cox's haste; and to-day we have a speech from Senator Bigler of Pennsylvania, wbo also regret e. This la all bosh. James Buchanan waa tbe man who forced tbe matter upon Congress by his Message. 1 ETThe Statuman ought not to say naught; things now about the "Black Republicans" be cause the position which tbat paper holds at this time Is more akin to Black Republiosnism than It Is to Buchanan and Southern Demooia cy, and It may Qud that out one of these days. aT'The leaders of tbe Buchanan democracy In tbe Houi4 ol Bepreeentativee are Stephens of Georgia, Olingmao of North Caro ina, and Faulkner ol Virginia, all of whom, a few yeais ago, were "old line wmgs."

It may be neatly folded up and preserved amoug other reverend proprieties, appurtenant to tbe state and condition of all antiquated vlrgioltlea." The De iloatory Services at tbe Congre gatloaal Church latt night, were witnessed by a large audienoe, wbo left their comfortable fl re sides to be present, ootwllbatauding the iuolem-sncy of 'ha weather. The sermon by Rev. Mr. itorrs was well considered and well delivered, though It was rather long, lie deflued bis idra of a ohurob, repudiated the notion thai one bouse waa any boiler than another, but eoutendt d tbat Christian human hearts were the temples of God. He condemned tbe practice of building gorgeous temples, decorated with displays of artistic taste, for which tbe church may have to Incur a heavy debt, said that the first thing abont a cnuron edince should be the conscious tbat It was paid lor, that tbe church should be a celf-sustalolng Institution, that Its members should make all sacrifices to make it so, and not depend upon the Income it may re ceivt from outsiders by pew rents, to raise Its necessary expenditures. A neat, sub stantial edilioe should be erected and paid for, and none should feel restrained from attending by tbclr loabilily ft pay pew rent, or failing to do so, be classed as paupers. Scarcely one-third of our people regularly at tend publlo worship, and tbe reason la numer ous oases Is bsoauss many wbo would attend are uuable to pay $10, $16, or $26 psr annum. pew rent, ana tney will nut attend where they may be looked upon as intruders or psupe ra ils contended tnat the onuron members should raise sufOolsnt funds among themselves to build the church edifice and support the minister, and tbeo thej oould go out Into the world unbent pared by the suspicion tbat tbey were looking up persons to help them pay pew rent, and oould aud would atlraot the pour of the world wbo are rich in faith, to become living stoota In tbe temple of God. Tbe discourse could not be considered is milk for babes, and we rather think tbat some of tbe audience regarded It as rather strong meat for grown moo. Mr. Storra held tbe uudivided at tention of the large audience during fu dellr cry, and made some points which are nut of ten thought of, or not duly considered. At the closa of the ser vices a collection waa taken op, and it was stated tbat tbe cost of the building was $11,000, and tba cost of Ihe lot $8,000 the cost of tbe lot was mainly defrayed by exchanging for It the lot upon which the old Church edifice stands. Tba new building Is plain, convenient and substantial neat, but not gaudy. We trust the Society will go on and prosper. Taa Scioto Rma WaaaiNo away tks Crrr of PiiTSMOCTu-.

Still the papers edited by tbe office-holding and office-hoping olassei, yet offeod tht good sense and manhood ol tht people by windy declama tion and donkey adulation in praiae ol Jamea Buobanan, and bia "saoctasful administration," Wo propose to examine briefly Into this claim. Jamea Buchanan'! record, before levaled to lha Chief Magistracy of tbe Union, la barren ol events Hia name Is identified with no great measure, and be never uttered a word ol apeecb wbloh bat been worth quoting, He might ntv er bave been born, and the country would bave never suffered; and he might have rauaed Irom present existence, aud tbe nation would hive lost nothing more valuable than tba loss of a respeotable oliixen. Ha came into Ibe PreeldenUal Chair with a full and overflowing Treasury, and tbe country prosperous aud happy with the txoeptloo ol the difficulties in Kansas, and tbt trouble! lu Utah. Thett Iwo metiers be eel about to beal, and great were tbe promteei bt madt, and bign wae tht expectation ol Ihe public, and alter a lair trial be haa utterly aud hopelessly lalled in both. He dispatched an army to Utah, bul at a season ao latt that It bu beea overtaken on the plaini by tht treat aud snows ol winter, aod it ia now somewhere la tbe valley uf the Wind river, In a stats of alter deatituliou, aud many have been en this utterly decimated by the Mormon foe, or the rigors of winter. The ex pedition was ill planned, and wrongly direoted, and the result bus been uttsr and irrecoverable disaster and ruin. His plana for lha settlement ot difficulties in Kansas bait been alike unauc-cesslul and abortive. He tent out to that Ter ritory Walker and Stanton, with inatructto a to bave a Constitution formed and to bave il lub- mitted lo the people lor their adoption or re jection. Walker eel abont oarrylug these In emotion! Into effect. Meanwhile Buobanan aenda out a atom agent to Kanaae, a clerk in ibe office of tbe Secretary ol tbe Interior, by the name ot Martin, to watch bim, and get jual euoh a Constitution adopted by tbt Convtulion as they did adopt, with a schedule repudiating the principle! ol Bquattar Sovereignty, or palling il In such a form as lo make it a cheat and a fraud. The raault II that Blaalon is decapita ted, and Walker Is loroed to resign, lu doing which be flree off a goo into Ike Adminlstra tion, which hits il between wind and water, and leavea II in a very crippled condition. Squat ter Sovereignty ia repudiated, and tht affairs of I Kansas are more complicated Ibao tvtr, and the people are on lha verge. If not actually engaged In oivll war. These tblngt are true, aod ws challenge contradiction. By his vasclllstlng and timidity bt bu broken tbe back ol his par ty In thi North, and hu arrayed tht press and tht politicians against him. Ht hu In this whole matter, not only showa a waul of states manshlp, but ba hu not tven exhibited tact and adroltneai.

Instead of 'borrowtog the awney at a low Interest, and thus bringing Into active uss tba boarded wealth of timid capitalists, It adda twenty millions mora to Iht paper currency of tba nation. What a beautiful commentary ii this upon tba olalma set up by Buchanan and Ui party of being the exclusive friends of a specie currency, and upon tht palaver in his lata massage about the evils of paper money, Wu tbere tver such au instance ot ministerial atultltlcallcn u this om aot shows!
